Mentoring Events at Interspeech 2025
After six successful editions of the mentoring event, ISCA-SAC is organizing mentoring events for the seventh time at Interspeech 2025 in Rotterdam. As before, we will hold two events: round tables and one-on-one mentoring. We invite all researchers at any stage of their career to participate. Participants will be given the opportunity to engage in group (round table) and one-to-one discussions with academics/researchers/professionals from academia and industry in a friendly, welcoming environment.
Events
Round-table mentoring: In-person during Interspeech 2025, on August 19 (Tuesday), during lunch time 12:00-13:00 (lunch provided) in Foyer 2.2.
The round-tables are an opportunity for participants and mentors to interact on various topics of mutual interest. Each round-table will have an assigned topic, two mentors, and 6-8 participants. Mentors will be confirmed closer to the date. We will try our best to prioritize your preferred topics for discussion.
One-on-one mentoring: Mentor and mentee decide when and where to meet. This can be in-person or virtual. If you feel more comfortable discussing specific topics in a one-on-one session, you can register for this event, and we will do our best to find a mentor matching your needs. We will later introduce mentor and participant pairs and let you arrange the best time/place for your conversation (choice/preference of the mentor and mentee). This conversation can be in person or virtual. Mentees and mentors do not need to attend Interspeech in person; they can participate virtually. Our goal is to increase access to mentoring for as many mentees (who might not be able to travel to Interspeech) as possible and better support the speech research community.
Registration
Mentee (participant): Anyone interested in participating is invited to register using the registration form Mentee registration form. You can register for both events. We will do our best to have a place for everyone, but in case that is not possible, participants will be selected according to availability of mentors and topics on a first-come first-serve basis. We will contact you via e-mail after registration.
Mentor (professional member): Anyone willing to become a mentor for either event, you can register via our online form Mentor registration form. If you feel that you would be able to give meaningful feedback, share concerns, or answer questions from participants, this is a great chance to become a mentor for our sessions.

Students meet Experts @ Interspeech 2025
After successful editions in Lyon (2013), Singapore (2014), San Francisco (2016), Stockholm (2017), Hyderabad (2018), Graz (2019), virtually in both Shanghai (2020) and Brno (2021), Incheon (2022), Dublin (2023) and Kos (2024), we are excited to announce that Students Meet Experts is now coming to Interspeech 2025 in Rotterdam. We will have a panel discussion with experts from academia and industry. We encourage you to submit questions before the event. A selection of the submitted questions will be answered from the panel of experts. Please keep in mind that the experts and the audience are coming from different fields, so field specific and technical questions are less likely to be presented to the panel. Examples of topics discussed last years are career path (academia or industry), work-life balance, and mental health in academia.
